Diplomats hailed the agreement as an important step towards ending half a century of hatred, but cautioned that the two sides were still far apart on fundamental issues.

The agreement followed an ice-breaking meeting on Monday between Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on the sidelines of a regional summit. It was their first meeting in more than two years.

Another "alliance" in the budding ?
